A YELLOW RAIL was reported from the Meadows on 3/20 at around 2:30
pm. The bird was reported to have flushed in close proximity to the
single observer and flew back into the reeds along the eastern
trail. The observer encountered the bird approximately half way down
the eastern trail between two wooden walks where the bird flushed
from the western side of the trail. There has been no further report
of this bird since the initial sighting.
